Why you got to be so rude...

I am taking a poll.....

When dealing with visitation and the custodial parent's family who's responsibility is it to inform of what the orders actually read as far as visitation goes?
A. The CP should inform their family of the times the NCP will have the kid and the NCP tell their family when CP has the kid.
B. The NCP should inform both the CPs family and their own as to when their time is with the kid
C. The CP should inform both their family and the NCPs family
D. None of the above

Ok...now while you are thinking about it or have already picked your answer here is the "why you got to be so rude" moment.
DH was asked by BMs mother about getting the SS a few hours early to go on vacation and she says she tried to plan it for BMs time and made these plans in February (Ok if you read my post about being livid with DH about agreeing to let him go early just hear me out...I was mad about something totally different and this iced that cake). Well, we are taking it upon ourselves to print a calendar for the next year and do the following:
1. Highlight all our weekends, Holiday's, and such per the CO.
2. Print out and hand to BMs mom, a copy of the Holiday schedule, summer visitation portion of the CO, and ways to get in touch with DH if she should want to make plans for summer early again.

Now, BM apparently thinks this is "RUDE" of us to do. Not sure how it is RUDE to lay out the timeline of when we will have SS and she will have SS but hey whatever...I didn't buy the tickets for that crazy train so she can board it and ride it out herself. We are still doing this as BMs mom is at least trying to make things on BMs time and not DHs...showing that she supports the kid having a relationship with both parents. DING DING DING...WINNER!!! this is PASing at its finest. The crazy BM thinks by us doing this we are being rude but in actuality its that we are not playing the hand she dealt us to where she has total control. Blum 3 haha! PAS all you want but not everyone has to be invited to your pity party!

Each parent should be responsible for letting their own family know the schedule and arrangements based off of the custody order. I think if BMs family ever tried to encroach on DHs time without his permission then its up to him to set them straight about who's time is when.

I think printing out BM's family a calendar of visitation was a great idea.

Thanks...we know what happened. BMs mom tried to count the weekends didn't take into account any holidays or she did and then asked BM if that was right and she just said "yeah that's my weekend" cause this has happened every year for awhile. But according to the CO, DH gets first pick of summer and only has to give a 30 day notice. It doesn't say that BM can say no or negotiate trips etc. He gets first pick period. So I think doing this would prevent any conflicts when it comes to vacations planned by SS's GMA and it would put it out there that we have limited time and we would like to keep our time. The email address would be for if she wants to make plans for the summer to ASK or notify DH of the date she is thinking so we don't request SS during that week or vice versa.

Oh I know, the answer is D. Who cares about each others time. Grannies are most important and should ALWAYS be given their grandchildren on demand.

Lmbo! Yeah basically. At least that is how BM feels. She thinks her family deserves ALL of SS's time and that DH and his family are not entitled to visitation because SHE filed for divorce! Lol DH just said he wanted a divorce and she filed that same day!
